Matplotlib

For this excercise, we have written the following code to load the stock dataset built into plotly express.

stocks = px.data.stocks()
stocks.head()

	date	GOOG	AAPL	AMZN	FB	NFLX	MSFT
0	2018-01-01	1.000000	1.000000	1.000000	1.000000	1.000000	1.000000
1	2018-01-08	1.018172	1.011943	1.061881	0.959968	1.053526	1.015988
2	2018-01-15	1.032008	1.019771	1.053240	0.970243	1.049860	1.020524
3	2018-01-22	1.066783	0.980057	1.140676	1.016858	1.307681	1.066561
4	2018-01-29	1.008773	0.917143	1.163374	1.018357	1.273537	1.040708

Question 1:

Select a stock and create a suitable plot for it. Make sure the plot is readable with relevant information, such as date, values.

fig, goog = plt.subplots(figsize=(12,10))

goog.plot(stocks.date, stocks.GOOG, label = "GOOG")

goog.set_title('Stock price of GOOG')
goog.set_xlabel('Date [yyyy/mm/dd]')
goog.set_ylabel('Stocks value [€]')
goog.set_xticks([0,14,29,44,59,74,89,104])

goog.legend()

plt.show()

Question 2:

You've already plot data from one stock. It is possible to plot multiples of them to support comparison.
To highlight different lines, customise line styles, markers, colors and include a legend to the plot.

fig, goog = plt.subplots(figsize=(12,10))

goog.plot(stocks.date, stocks.GOOG, label = "GOOG")
goog.plot(stocks.date, stocks.AAPL, label = "AAPL")
goog.plot(stocks.date, stocks.AMZN, label = "AMZN")
goog.plot(stocks.date, stocks.FB, label = "FB")
goog.plot(stocks.date, stocks.NFLX, label = "NFLX")
goog.plot(stocks.date, stocks.MSFT, label = "MSFT", linestyle='dashdot', marker='o')

goog.set_title('Stock prices')
goog.set_xlabel('Date [yyyy/mm/dd]')
goog.set_ylabel('Stocks value [€]')
goog.set_xticks([0,14,29,44,59,74,89,104])

goog.legend()

plt.show()

Seaborn

First, load the tips dataset

tips = sns.load_dataset('tips')
tips.head()

	total_bill	tip	sex	smoker	day	time	size
0	16.99	1.01	Female	No	Sun	Dinner	2
1	10.34	1.66	Male	No	Sun	Dinner	3
2	21.01	3.50	Male	No	Sun	Dinner	3
3	23.68	3.31	Male	No	Sun	Dinner	2
4	24.59	3.61	Female	No	Sun	Dinner	4

Question 3:

Let's explore this dataset. Pose a question and create a plot that support drawing answers for your question.

Some possible questions:

• Are there differences between male and female when it comes to giving tips?
• What attribute correlate the most with tip?

print('What is the difference in tipping between male and female?')

sns.jointplot(x='sex', y='tip', data=tips)

plt.show()

What is the difference in tipping between male and female?

Plotly Express

Question 4:

Redo the above exercises (challenges 2 & 3) with plotly express. Create diagrams which you can interact with.

The stocks dataset

Hints:

• Turn stocks dataframe into a structure that can be picked up easily with plotly express

fig = px.line(stocks, 
              x='date', 
              y=['GOOG','AAPL','AMZN','FB','NFLX','MSFT'],
              title='Stocks values'
             )
fig.show()

The tips dataset

fig = px.histogram(tips,
                   x='total_bill',
                   y='tip',
                   color='sex', 
                   hover_data=tips.columns
                  )
fig.show()

Question 5:

Recreate the barplot below that shows the population of different continents for the year 2007.

Hints:

• Extract the 2007 year data from the dataframe. You have to process the data accordingly
• use plotly bar
• Add different colors for different continents
• Sort the order of the continent for the visualisation. Use axis layout setting
• Add text to each bar that represents the population

#load data 
df = px.data.gapminder()
df.head()

	country	continent	year	lifeExp	pop	gdpPercap	iso_alpha	iso_num
0	Afghanistan	Asia	1952	28.801	8425333	779.445314	AFG	4
1	Afghanistan	Asia	1957	30.332	9240934	820.853030	AFG	4
2	Afghanistan	Asia	1962	31.997	10267083	853.100710	AFG	4
3	Afghanistan	Asia	1967	34.020	11537966	836.197138	AFG	4
4	Afghanistan	Asia	1972	36.088	13079460	739.981106	AFG	4

df_2007 = df.query('year==2007')

df_2007_new = df_2007.groupby('continent').sum()

fig = px.bar(df_2007_new, 
            x="pop", 
            y=df_2007_new.index, 
            orientation='h',
            color=df_2007_new.index)

fig.update_yaxes(categoryorder='total descending')

fig.show()
